What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what the notice says, and we can talk through the house with you.
What can affect closing in Kentucky
Kentucky lets cities and counties enforce local codes and assess civil fines. After proper notice, a local government may clear a nuisance property, secure it against entry, or demolish part or all of a structure under KRS 65.8840.
Under KRS 65.8835, fines, fees, and abatement costs become a property lien when recorded with the county clerk. The lien takes priority over most other liens except state, county, school-board, and city taxes; it can last ten years, and the owner remains personally responsible for the amount. A city may add an unpaid code lien to the property-tax bill and collect it like unpaid taxes under KRS 65.8834.
If there is an open order, court case, or deadline, its requirements may still apply before closing. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
